The First Lady: A Feminist Review

I’ve thought about Michelle Obama’s role significantly.  I wonder how much has been her choice, and how much has been the choice of media shapers.  I really have no idea.  It’s apparent that she has definitely broken with the expected role of the First Lady, but I do wonder how much is HER choice.  And that’s what’s important to me.  I appreciate one of the commentator’s saying that women’s equality is about choice.  While I would love to see Michelle using her legal prowess to push forward her goals (e.g., improving eating habits, helping military families).  But I guess it really does boil down to what she wants.  And if she’s doing what she wants, I support (even if I’d really like to see her doing something else).
